Chapter 26 - Chapter 25: Arrivederci

Flavio's frown and the their two new roommates has been irritating Dante for the past days, he stared at his coffee as he looked at his grumpy friend. Wilhevit continued on reading her book while sipping her tea while Willis has been cooking a lot of food for everyone. Later, a knock on the door was heard by the three staying at the living room, Dante stood up to open the door. It turns out that Dorotea, Luciano and Tomasso visited them, "Ciao!" Tomasso greeted before raising the foods that he brought. Dante's sight was only fixated to Luciano who's also nonchalantly looking at him.

"Anyways, who're those people? Are they Flavio's relatives?" Dorotea asked before entering.

"Nah.. they're actually Fla— I mean, Wally's elder siblings.." Dante answered before taking his sight off Luciano.

"So you've finally revealed that you are Mr. Blount's son huh.." Luciano commented while smiling lightly.

"I have no choice, and these two has been annoying me." Flavio complained while crossing both of his arms.

"We're here to ensure his safety, and also to lend a helping hand for the Mafia's Branch 1." Wilhevit stated before averting her gaze at the visitors.

"Im still wondering on why the hell the others aren't helping at all.. and what drove Gamma on calling my father." Flavio pouted.

"Some of the girls can't fight, they focus on nursing or serving the cafes; Filippo is only playing his role as an inspector, Gamma and him made a deal that he won't fight cause he's a pacifist; the others have their own work to do, like drug dealing and stuffs; and lastly, some of them focus more on laboratories and paperworks like Arturo." Dante explained.

"Still.. there are other people from Branch 3-5.." Flavio sighed.

"They have their own enemies too. The bigger the organization is, the more enemies it gain." Tomasso stated before Dante could tell his long explanation. Dante only shot a sideward glare at him.

They continued chatting while eating, Dante and Wilhevit kept on arguing while the others only laughed at them.

Meanwhile, Giusto and Nunzio has been sitting on the couch while waiting for Maximo. Regina appeared while pushing Maximo's wheelchair towards the two. "Ahh.. sorry if I kept you two waiting for days. Usually I do have a lot of work to do... Like animating and yeah.. you know making doujins.." Maximo appeared to be an obese man who sports a black tracksuit.

'H-he's a weeb...' Giusto thought to himself while staring at Maximo.

'He looks different... He was slim and fit in some pictures that Fil gave me...' Nunzio thought.

"Anyways, what do you want from me?" Maximo asked while eating his potato chips.

"Uhh...we..we would like to ask something prior to what have happened 7 years ago..." Giusto smiled awkwardly.

"What was the year 7 years ago? I kind of lost the track of time.." Maximo chuckled before Regina walked away to fetch some soda.

"Uhh.. 2090? About the Luckster's Incident?" Giusto responded.

"Ahh... I see.." Maximo's face tensed up for a moment, "Sorry but.. I kind of panic whenever I remember what happened..but, please do read the manga I made dedicated to the Luckster's Incident.." he stated while looking down.

"I see.. well then, thank you Sir, we shall buy that manga you made." Giusto tried to put on a smile as he took his wallet out.

"I'll give it to you for free, but how about your companion?" Maximo grabbed the manga from the cabinet, "I'm fine, we only need one.." Nunzio muttered, "Okay, well have this. It's a one-shot manga by the way, I made it 4 years ago.." Maximo handed the book to Giusto, "Thank you again Sir. We shall proceed now to read it." Giusto stood up, Nunzio followed and the two went out of the house.

"Good gracious! What happened while I was off to sell the weapons to Mr. Shinigai?!" the red headed man exclaimed while standing infront of his house. "Sir, the Fantasma Rosso attacked your House 3 days ago." Daniella stated while bringing her Master's luggage. "I demand to see Pio." the man demanded after he entered the House, "He is in the office Sir." Daniella answered before going upstairs to set her Master's luggage aside.

"Father! I've heard the news you're going to return to the house this day so I—"

"Pio, where have you been when the House was attacked?" the man constantly glared at Pio, the lad sweats before averting his gaze. "You irresponsible idiot." the man facepalmed, "How are the children? Have you been keeping an eye at them?" he asked before looking at his adopted son.

"I.. uhh... the kids are doing well but I was in the House Quattrocchi when tbey attacked the house..." Pio heaved a deep sigh.

"I've heard the news that Salvatore betrayed the Mafia.. I did told you to keep an eye to him, remember?" suddenly, the man's tone changed, his fiery and prideful tone changed into a tender man's tone who has been longing to see his lover and son.

"I'm..sorry.." Pio muttered.

The man grabbed Fausta's picture frame and smashed it into the floor, "Now say sorry to it, did something happened? No." the man walked away.

Letizia only looked at the sky while sitting beside Arturo's clone, Armando. He sipped his coffee before sighing deeply, "The situation went from zero to one hundred real quick.." he stated while fixing his glasses.

"I wonder what will happen to the future.. if we kept on fighting, will we even achieve peace? Will we able to avenge the dead? Or lost?" Letizia hugged her knees.

"Our peace.. was ruined years ago... Now, it's wartime." Armando muttered underneath his breathe.

"I'm ready..Armando, will you do the honor of ending my life?"

"Letizia... I mean, Fia.. we're sorry for cloning you."

"It's fine.. The machine can remove everybody's memory of me right? The war will finally end right?" her tears started pouring while looking down.

"Y-yeah.." Armando grabbed his gun and pointed it at Letizia.

"Arrivederci."
